Deadline Looming for Puerto Rico Homeowners Hurricane Claims

The one year suit limitation provision for homeowners in Puerto Rico expires on September 20, 2018. This means that for any homeowners claims that are in dispute, suit must be filed on or before September 20, 2018, or the insured’s rights to recover will forever be lost. Our firm has local counsel in Puerto Rico and stands ready to assist your clients in protecting their rights. We are as well handling commercial claims which typically are governed by a two-year suit limitation period which will expire on September 20, 2019. Please feel free to contact our office and speak with Jonathan Wilkofsky or Harry Cummins concerning these matters or take other steps to protect the deadline.
